Where Is The Line between A Mother's Love and Corporal Punishment?

This article is in reaction to the
mother who has been watched worldwide beating her son who was protesting in
public. Surprisingly, this mother is considered the Mother of the Year, perhaps
because she is acting for the state. Surreptitiously, the society and
government just endorsed corporal punishment. When then can we draw the line
between a mother’s love and corporal punishment, or where then is the line
between abuse or assault and discipline? Is it only an offense when government
and the public interest is in danger and not when family interests are
endangered? I invite you to watch the video below before you read the article.

Didn't
this woman just abused her child in public? The same government prohibits
corporal punishment, so parents can no more discipline their kids but because
this woman is beating her child in favor of the government, she is cheered as a
heroine. I thought that corporal punishment traumatizes kids? Euripides once
said, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."

Adrian Peterson was suspended and even
charged with abuse for spanking his own child. Many parents have been locked up
because someone at a Walmart took a picture of the woman or man spanking his or
her child for misbehaving in public. It would seem to me that children are
properties of the state because only the state can use corporal punishment on
them or can approve when it could be used.

If
we say that her act is right, what about those kids without parents to spank
them in a public spectacle? If this woman was seen spanking this very boy in
another situation less desperate from government grasp would we have approved
it?

I do not condemn her; I am merely
showing the tomfoolery in arguing against parental discipline just as I applaud
the Obama government and other black leaders for rebuking the excesses of the
protests. This is what the black leaders should regularly do. I find this act
of destroying property despicable. Obama has sent a huge message that there is
a difference between protesting on the one hand and criminality and thuggery on
the other. You cannot destroy property because you destroy those of innocent
people. By destroying property, you trample underfoot the very blood of Freddie Gray.

Furthermore, this portrays how the law
favors women more than men. You may want to look at the reactions to sexual
abuse when females and males are caught in the act. If a man was seen spanking
his daughter in a public spectacle, the feminists would have been all over him
as wasps, calling for his execution without due process.

The act of protest is itself not a
crime, and there is no indication that the boy was one of those destroying
property. People who applaud the mother should answer this question. Is
protesting against injustice a crime or even a character frailty? If it is not,
then the mother should not have beaten up the boy because by beating him up, she
muzzles his inalienable right to exercise his freedom of speech. On another
hand, if corporal punishment is bad, then it should be bad at all times. The
reason why we are too confused as a people is because we have alienated ourselves
away from God as a nation. We are a confused people awaiting destruction. You
see, when people alienate themselves from God, He darkens their understanding. The
government has prevented the parents and teachers from corporal punishment. I
only hope that no parent will again be charged with child abuse due to corporal
punishment.

However we should not forget the cause
of the protests; the disproportionate treatment of the black people in America.
That is what caused the protests that a black man was killed by abuse while in
police custody. It is time to talk about racism once and for all. Otherwise,
the law of Oppression will be our constant stable.

Until then, we must rethink our priorities.
